Compatibility with GKE Autopilot

GKE autopilot has a number of limitations that make the CSI driver incompatible from https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/autopilot-overview#limits

• Using hostPath volumes in write mode is prohibited - this is required for the driver to have access to all pod filesystems for performing mounts
• No privileged Pods - privileged is required for the driver to create the tmpfs and perform the mount

I will forward this request to the GKE team though.

Thank you for clearing it up @tam7t, appreciate it.

Thank you for forwarding the request to the GKE team. Would it be possible to be in the loop for that request?

Is there something we can do foreigners to push this forward? Is there any way to mount secrets overcoming those limitations? Would love to see progress on this as we're loving GKE Autopilot!

is there any news ? thanks

Hi @tam7t, do you have any news from the GKE team? We'll really appreciate if you can give us some expectations. I don't need that to be in the form of ETAs but it would be enough to know if this is even possible in the short, mid, log-term or never.

Thanks!

I spoke with the GKE platform team at KubeCon and they do have a process to allow you to add the driver to an allow list, but you must open a support case. Also, they are rolling this driver into a managed service very soon but couldnt give me a release date. Q1 is a possibility.
